set mac-usergroup attr
Creates a user group in the local database on the WSS for users who are authenticated by a MAC address, and
assigns authorization attributes for the group.
(To configure a user group and assign authorization attributes through RADIUS, see the documentation for
your RADIUS server.)
Syntax
set mac-usergroup group-name attr attribute-name value
Defaults
None.
Access
Enabled.
Usage
To change the value of an attribute, enter set mac-usergroup attr with the new value. To
delete an attribute, use clear mac-usergroup attr.
You can assign attributes to individual MAC users and to MAC user groups. If attributes are configured for a
MAC user and also for the group the MAC user is in, the attributes assigned to the individual MAC user take
precedence for that user. For example, if the start-date attribute configured for a MAC user is sooner than the
start-date configured for the MAC user group the user is in, the MAC user’s network access can begin as soon
as the user start-date. The MAC user does not need to wait for the MAC user group’s start date.
Examples
The following command creates the MAC user group eastcoasters and assigns the
group members to VLAN orange:
WSS# set mac-usergroup eastcoasters attr vlan-name orange
success: change accepted.
